Presenteeism ... Shreds

Today's word is "presenteeism" ... prez-uh n-TEE-iz uh m ... the practice of coming to work despite illness, injury, anxiety, etc., often resulting in reduced productivity. (Dictionary.com)

Shreds
Do you work your fingers to the bone?
Are your eyes and ears done in by screens?
Is presenteeism your aim,
With no thought of what it means?

There might be more than grinding stones,
And piling up the dust,
Since nothing else but love remains,
When the rest has gone to rust.
